Saddle up cowboys and cowgirls, everyone's favourite Texan is back and this week Junglist isn't checking out one game, he's checking out two - the outstanding Black Mesa mod for the Source engine and indie-roguelike-ship-management-space-RPG FTL. Junglist's hair is beautiful again as he gives both games his usual excellent dissection - so what is the verdict? As always, watch it to find out!

You can watch the 5 Inch Floppy embedded below or in our videos library - going full screen for HD of course. And as always, you can get more of your Junglist fix by checking out the 5 Inch Floppy on Facebook and the 5 Inch Floppy Blog!

The Cloaking Device is expensive and therefore difficult to get for a reason - it's a ******* life saver.

It boosts your Evasion by 60 - now whether that's 60% or 60 random-Idon'tknow-points I have no idea - and, coupled with a beefed up Engine room will allow you to dodge a good 75% of the barrage of missiles that end guy will throw at you. Considering he throws a volley of 3 of those shield-evading bastards at a time, if you can minimise getting hit by one of them to every two volleys or so, you're doing well.

Plus, you don't fight that end guy only once - he is a true boss battle. And despite the game pretending otherwise, you don't get a chance to repair between his fights. So you really need to minimise hull damage as much as you can. The Cloaking Device is basically essential.

Also, obligatory comment about hair.
